LEBANON, PENNSYLVANIA — A Lebanon police officer spotted a 29-year-old man inside a convenience store with a bag of marijuana stuck to his forehead.

Investigators said the man was seen peering inside his baseball cap early Saturday morning. When the man looked up, the officer noticed a small plastic bag stuck to his forehead.

Police said the officer peeled the bag off the man’s forehead, ascertained that the bag contained marijuana, and placed the man under arrest for drug possession. Authorities say the sweatband of a baseball cap is a frequent hiding place for drugs.
